Pros

Pay is amongst the highest Working environment (Supervisor is cool) is pretty chill Best Dress policy Benefits are decent

Cons

Number one issue is mandatory DRIVING to MIDTOWN for non-student-facing positions!?!?!? The "T" in Georgia Tech stands for Technology, yet we are not allowed to use it. Imagine that. and for this reason people are leaving in droves. Total internal confusion, each department, school, or college has its own Silo's. No one knows who does what; you are easily ignored, and emailing people makes you feel like you are stalking. It is borderline, Alice in wonderland.
